Ball Games / Bean-bag Games

An easy way to boost your child’s self-esteem is to introduce them to some of your favourite catching games using a bean bag rather than a ball. It moves more slowly through the air and is easier to grip, so your child has more chance of catching it.

If you have had enough of catch, make them a goal with a bucket, dish or waste-paper basket and demonstrate how to take turns. You might need to stand a bit further back!
